Guild Wars 2

Okay so the first one I was trying to main was Necro but with year of playing the class I noticed that Anet gives no kittens for the class. And So far it looks like it will stay the same in HoTs. Necro – “outclassed in everything that matters”. So I took almost a two year break from the game.

Came back and started playing on my Ranger that is currently in the same state that the Necro is in. I do enjoy opening the world with my hunter so I will keep doing that for the time being.

Im interested in Mes & Ele since they always seem viable/wanted and they look like they will be extremely strong in HoT. The Revenant Looks cool but Im worried they will be Necro / Ranger level.

I enjoy Pve could care less about Pvp

There is no hunter in this game. That aside ranger is not @ the same state with Necro. Ranger is better but buggy. Ranger play style is being forced to frequent swap mechanic on both weapons and pets, ever since the big trait patch change. Damage and support wise ranger is still roughly the same before the big patch. Perhaps you find it awkward to adapt to the forced fed play style.

I’d recommend you wait until they reveal everything to see what suits you. Atm, only mesmer is being considered as having clear cut upgrade @ HoT. Necro, Ele, and Guardian are in the meh category.

Ele looks 100% better then Necro so far. And unless they make huge changes Necro will still be the bottom of the barrel so I don’t really want to wait around and be disappointed yet again.

My suggestion would be ele, but only due to how engaging the class is. Mistakes matter on Ele where as mesmer you can just decoy/stealth heal and go again.

But if you want it easy with high damage output at minimal effort, take mesmer.

What weapons are expected to be ran in fractals and dungeons for both Ele & Mes?

Yeah I’d probably say Ele as well. It is a rather attentive class, played best when you know the 20 weapon skills like the back of your hand so it is very engaging. Plus, from what you said about being disheartened by necro neglect, ele is Anets pride and joy and is the most tended to class making sure it’s usually the best.

I main Mesmer but also have an Ele and love both tbh, unfortunately both can feel a little underpowered early on while leveling and quite often cause people to give up, but if you get either or both to level 80 you wont be disappointed! Both classes are capable of high damage out put and both have a lot of useful utilities and support abilities. Most importantly, both are incredibly fun to play!

That’s good to hear!

Ele I found fun to play, Mesmer not so much, Necro seems like it could be more fun to play then what it is, just seems underdeveloped. Granted however I have not played my Ele or Mesmer since trait revamp and only messed around a little on my necro.
